Welcome! My name is Nicole Thomte, my pronouns are she/her or they/them, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, #3853 in Minnesota. My focus in my practice is to serve those individuals, couples, and families who live outside the confines of dominant society's expectations. I offer affirmative therapy for LGBTQIA+/kink/CNM/polyam/etc persons, using a largely solution-focused approach from an intersectional feminist lens. I know that these populations are underserved in current society, and my goal is for you to have the inclusive support you deserve to improve your life the way you want. I am also interested in sex-positive therapy and sex therapy, while still recognizing the validity of asexuality in its own spectrum.
My therapeutic style is non-directive, exploratory, accepting, and acknowledging the humor that often leavens the stress of life. You're the expert in your life, and I'm here to provide support and an outside perspective to help find patterns and connections that may not be visible to you in the midst of your troubles. What you bring to the session is what interests me, rather than relying on labeling and constraints of diagnoses.
Choosing to sit with people in a therapeutic connection as my third career path has been one of the longest and most complex decisions I have made in my life thus far. It has also been one of the most rewarding and transformative experiences I have ever encountered.
I worked at a behavioral health agency once I was approved for my state intern license in 2013. The population we served were most often persons who have the most difficulties: often already on disability or in the interminable waiting period after having applied, with multiple health troubles, and with the least access to needed resources.
Since before even starting my work as a state intern, I had begun attending supervision groups and co-facilitating survivor groups under the auspices of Gender Justice Nevada in November, 2012. Over the nearly six years until my hiatus in July, 2018, I learned from the bravery of survivors of sex/gender based violence, oppression, and discrimination, including sex/gender diverse young persons, the families and loved ones of sex/gender diverse persons, and sex workers, as I provided therapeutic group facilitation in addition to individual, couple, and family therapy, due to my drive to advocate for marginalized communities.
I am a compassionate, driven, tireless advocate for those who are forced into the margins of society, and I look forward to the gift of what you wish to share with me.

Nichole is a great therapist. She’s a great listener, and offers insight into how to advocate for one’s own self healing much beyond support and advocacy for mental health.

I always feel like Nicole really gets me. She speaks my language and understands what I'm trying to say, and responds in ways that work for how my brain works.

Nicole offers me various coping skills for issues I deal with on a regular basis. Has always listened to me and offered support.

Nicole is a fantastic counselor. She's super chill and easy to open up to, keeps things low stress and she's super understanding. She's not what most people think of when they think about therapy, she's fun, relaxed and not super clinical as to make you feel under a microscope. I've been seeing her for about 2 years now and I've made a lot of progress in my mental health thanks to her. Highly recommend her.

Nicole has been key for me since I started my sessions with Better Help. She is extremely professional and empathic to my thoughts or experiences. I couldn’t have asked for a better counselor!

Nicole is amazing to work with. She can hold space for queer and trans folks, which can be so hard to find. Also, she has done a lot of anti-racism work, so I recommend her for other white folks looking to unpack implicit bias and racist social conditioning.

I don’t know where I would be without Nicole. She has become such a wonderful support system and has helped me become the best version of myself. My appreciation for her is significant and if you are looking for help to gain footing in the world with yourself, re-establish reality, develop healthy coping strategies, and interact with someone who can bring humor into your life - I hope you get matched with her!

I’ve only chatted with Nicole a couple of times so far, but she has been really helpful and supportive, and offered some good ideas and insights. She is also proactive in communicating and flexible in scheduling and how we communicate.

I have had Nicole as my counselor for about six months now. She has helped me find the tools to better my day to day life in so many little ways that make such a huge difference. I feel validated and really supported in a way I really haven't before. She's personable and easy to talk to and I have sessions where I spend a good chunk of it laughing and coming away from them feeling more secure in the steps I need to take to better myself.

Written on Aug 08, 2019 after therapy with Nicole for 2 months on issues concerning lgbt
I have tried so many other (in person) therapists and have not made much progress. Within the first week, Nichole was giving me resources and getting into the stuff that I’ve been trying to get other therapists to treat as a primary concern FOR YEARS. I cannot begin to express how much difference Nicole and BetterHelp have made.
Written on Jul 26, 2019 after therapy with Nicole for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and self esteem
Nicole is professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic. She has really helped me in such a short span of time. I was really in a bad state of mind and she talked me through things. She encouraged me to not feel down on my mental illness dx, and with her I feel hopeful for the future. Do what you must do to keep her/promote her. She has truly helped me.
